The physics of behavior aims at a more complete characterization of complex animal movements under more naturalistic conditions. This symposium samples recent progress in this field. We will hear from theorists and experimentalists as they discuss how ideas from dynamical systems theory and statistical physics can create simple yet predictive models of animal behavior across scales, and how new methods, driven by advances in computer vision and deep learning, are bringing us toward precise and automated quantifications of behavior in diverse organisms and contexts.
